Food in the Fez Medina

July 7, 2012 •

After the neighborhood bakeries, my favorite part of our visit to the medina of Fez (Morocco) was the souks. These bustling markets offer a glorious array of clothing, jewelry, home decor and housewares, tools, toys, religious items… and, of course, food!

My camera could not begin to fully capture the energy and dazzling selection of the food souks, but here’s a taste of what we found there.

Thanks for sharing your pictures, Susan. I’m glad you enjoyed your trip to Morocco, my ancestors’ homeland. The scenery is always beautiful and the food is always amazing. I could go for a quick snack right now made from freshly baked bread, homemade goat cheese, and some mint tea. I have a trip over there later this year. Can’t wait 😀

Hi Susan, I’m glad you visited Morocco, one of the oldest countries in the world. You probably know it already, but the Muslim Kingdom of Morocco started existing 12 centuries ago, and guess what ? Fez was its first capital. The Berber Kingdoms in Morocco existed even before.

Anyway, I would like to make one clarification, if you allow me that : In the picture, we can see the veal meat. It’s smaller than beef and bigger than lamb or goat.
